Open Air Preachers LISTEN UP! (FULL - Kerrigan Skelly)

[yeshua4U]

What is SOAPA?

[skellys3]

@yeshua4U SOAPA stands for Southeast Open Air Preachers Association

[RobertMOdell]

Kerrigan, I admire the message for holiness. Anyone who loves Jesus Christ will decide to obey Him. However, the message I hear from scripture and also personal experience is that victory over sin comes from Christ. You seem to be preaching a message of living out a holy life entirely upon self effort. This runs counter to my understanding that Christ empowers our victory once we honestly turn to Him.

[skellys3]

@RobertMOdell When have I ever suggested or hinted at that we live a holy life "entirely upon self effort"? Please show me where I have ever said that. I have always said that we can do ALL things THROUGH Christ who strengthens us (Phil. 4:13). WE must do the obeying though. Christ will NOT do the obeying for you...

[RobertMOdell]

@skellys3 It's what you didn't say. Your message does not apply too well for those caught in harmful addictions, with no ability to obey without Christ's help. Just because someone wants to forsake sin and vice doesn't mean they can do it. Without Christ's help in doing so, it is a powerless effort that nearly always results in failure. I don't hear this in your preaching, despite the excellent message for holiness.

[skellys3]

@RobertMOdell It sounds like you're hearing what you want to hear then. In my open air preaching, witnessing 1-2-1 and "church" preaching, I always say that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Christ always stands ready to help the person who has a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart. It doesn't matter what the sin is, "addiction" or not.

You when you say, "Just because someone wants to forsake sin and vice doesn't mean they can do it." How can God hold...

[skellys3]

@RobertMOdell (cont.)....someone accountable for their sins if they can't stop them or have to do them? God holds all sinners accountable for their sins because they CAN be avoided. To say otherwise is to malign the character of God. God commands ALL men, EVERYWHERE to repent because they CAN!

It almost sounds like you want to give the sinner some kind of excuse for their sin. Well, they have no excuses and part of my job is to remove ALL of their excuses...since they really have none!

[jorgelroque]

Based on what you accused TBN or being "Total Blasphemous Network"?

[skellys3]

@jorgelroque Just watch them for a day or so. It doesn't take much discernment or Bible knowledge to see that what they do blasphemes the name of Christ...

[jorgelroque]

@skellys3 Please mention a couple of specific examples. i do watch them and some preachers I dont pay attention, others I like, like the way of the master, Billy Graham archives, Dr. Stanley, etc. But I haven't really seen any "blasphemes the name of Christ" Please be more specific.

@jorgelroque You can start with the people on this website: False-Teachers(.)com

I give up. You want to Preach, but have no love.

Now, I see you have nothing argumentative spirit. Go, Preach on in your dishonesty.

[skellys3]

What? Prove your false accusations...

[Passiflora101]

I don't have a problem with his presentation. In order for the Holy Spirit to convict, a sinner must learn the Bad News before truly appreciating the Good News. Would you glady and willingly undergo open heart surgery without a complete & proper diagnosis first? It's the same with the Great Physcian. Bad News First, Good News second. No true conviction, no true conversion.

Is love really love without discipline and rules? Is it love to allow your child to play in the street?

[droptozro]

Yeah I'm confused too... did someone else use your account?

it looks like double-speak

[simplydannygirl]

Did not know what good Preacher you are Kerrigan! Looking forward to more. Time to take it the Churches!

God Bless

Danny

[theophany1770]

Me too. Thanks. Although I don't think I would ever be holy enough to open air preach. God bless

[valu777]

You shall have no other gods

You shall not lie

You shall not murder

You shall not commit adultery

You shall not steal

it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the JUDGEMENT:

whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the LAKE OF FIRE.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,but by me

that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord SHAL BE SAVED

ARE YOU SAVED?

[naturerules777]

Wow, powerful preaching. Thank you for this.
